Guest westerngirl2004 Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 I was looking to see if I could book an appointment with the financial aid officer, and came across this site: /web1.uottawa.ca/uopr/reg...in_en.aspx Scroll down the name section, and you'll see a bunch of names. Are these people going to be in class of 2008? (Given I got in off the waitlist, my name is not there yet.) westerngirl2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hacker Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Yes, I can see my name on the list. However, we have not been given any student numbers yet to access this page.. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrenchyMed Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 My name's not there. But that's probably because I have not replied to Ottawa's offer yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Burnutz Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi! I am a Virginia resident finishing up a graduate degree in the UK and have accepted my offer at Ottawa. However I might defer my acceptance until next year in order to finish up my graduate degree (I will know after July 2). Anyone looking for a roommate? I'm interested in living in the Sandy Hill area... I'll be able to confirm by the first week of July. In any case- Hope to see you all in September! :smokin Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SwissMel Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'll be joining you in the fall! I'm looking for a few other first year med school students to share accomodations. I'd like to live within walking distance to the campus, but would also consider living downtown. I'm from Ajax and will be driving to Ottawa to look for a place this month. Hopefully we can get everything arranged before the end of July because I'm visiting family in Europe in August. Anyone interested please email me at mktoman@hotmail.com. FrenchyMed I'm in the french class too. Is french your first language? It's my second. Looking forward to meeting everyone, Melanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrenchyMed Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Welcome aboard Melanie! I'm a Francophone but I'm also 100% bilingual. I'm from the Ottawa area so I speak English almost as often as French. I'm debating whether or not to move. I'll probably hold off for a while and see how things go. I'm also heading to Europe in August to visit my parents and some friends. I'll be in Paris. What about you? FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SwissMel Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I'll be in Geneva, and then I think we are renting a place in the south of France. I'll have to look up the name of the city... When do you leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrenchyMed Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Early August. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SwissMel Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I'm leaving July 28th and come home August 18th. I'm really exited but it doesn't leave much time to find a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SteveyBee Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hey Mel and FM! I'm also starting in the French program this September. French is my first language, but all of my "science" schooling has been in English. I'm driving to Ottawa this weekend to find an apartment. Like others, I'll probably end up getting a 1-bedroom in an apartment complex close to the school this year. I've found a few that are very close, with prices ranging from $600-800 inclusive. I used mapquest to find out where they were in relation to the school. If anyone would like contact numbers/addresses for these buildings, I'd be more than happy to pass them along. Congrats to everyone that got in & have a restful summer (hopefully it'll warm up soon. Sauble Beach was freeeezing last weekend!) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SwissMel Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Hey Steve, It would be great if you don't mind passing along the info you've found on apartments near the school. I'll be driving down on Tuesday/Wednesday to look for a place. Look forward to meeting you, Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hacker Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Hi Mel, I've been to Ottawa the last two days. I checked out 4 places. They were 2 townhouses close to the medical school and 1 apartment in downtown. Also I checked out 190 Lees which people say is the best apartment apt building on Lees (170 Lees is full of cockroaches I heard ) Here are my thoughts 190 Lees: I think this is an awesome place to live. What impressed me about this building is the small recreational club they have in one of the levels. They have 2 international squash courts !, tennis courts, swimming pool and fitness/weights room. The apartments vary in size. They are expensive to rent except if you have a room mate. In this case the rent would be ~500 for each room in the 2 bdroom apt. I was told that if you are really interested in an apartment, the manager could bring down the price more. Downtown: Not for me. Its a 15-20 minutes bus ride to the school and the apartments in there are obviously more expensive to rent. Not many med students live in downtown, thats what I heard at the financial aid office. Finally I checked two of the townhouses close to the school. Those houses are 7-8 minute walk to school. I think the avg price for a room in this area is ~500 (including everything) . The houses I checked were newly built. One landlord told me she is renting it to med students because they spend most of their time in the medical school and dont have enough time to mess up the house :b but this area is very quiet most of the year and has families/healthcare professionals living in. After my visit to Ottawa, I decided I am living in this area. The accomodation listing, provided by the school, was very useful. Thanks to all those who contributed to it ! See u all soon, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SwissMel Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Hey Steve, Thanks for all the info, I'm sure it will be very useful. See you in September! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gordo58 Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 according to the webiste provided by westerngirl2004, there are now 95 spots out of the 123 available for both classes... it looks like it was updated as of yesterday /web1.uottawa.ca/uopr/reg...in_en.aspx Gord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrenchyMed Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I'm getting a little worried because I accepted Ottawa's offer on June 20th and my name still does not appear on that list... I guess I'd better call Nicole Racine to find out what's going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
